Tights
Tights are a type of fabric leg covering, usually extending from the waist to feet, and fitting as tightly as possible to the body (from which the name derives).Wearing of tights has a long history going back several centuries, when they were worn by men. Today, they are worn primarily by
women and
girls, as well as
infants and
toddlers of both sexes. In recent years, they have been sometimes offered as
men's fashion. Athletic tights are already considered unisex.
